After reading the executive summary I have no idea what it's about, and no desire to keep reading. Then again, I think I've been burned out on all these open letters to different projects over the years.

Yeah, this letter is odd in that it doesn't begin by stating what the problem is, but instead allude to the problem as if the readers were familiar with NixOS cultural issues

I'm sure that somewhere buried in a wall of text they state what this is all about, but reading up to there is pretty hard when one doesn't have context.

edit: it appears that this is mainly about the bad behavior and conflict of interest of Nix creator, Eelco Dostra. Reading this makes me appreciate how well managed the Rust project is (despite occasional crisis and misbehavior like the RustConf fiasco)
